Facebook, Instagram down in mega global outage
New Delhi, March 5
In one of the worst outages for Meta in years, its entire family of apps — Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads — went down for millions across the globe, including in India, as users were thrown out from their accounts.
There was no official announcement from the company as to what caused this massive outage. While Facebook logged users out of their accounts, people were unable to refresh their feeds on Instagram and stories and comments were not loading.
X rival Threads also went down, displaying an error message. WhatsApp, also owned by Meta, still appeared to be working.
